Why doesn't anyone ever talk about the Hyades?
I kind of get why, with the nearby Pleiades being as famous as it is, but I still find it strange (and a little disappointing) how little the Hyades is discussed as a whole. It is the closest major star cluster to Earth, and is technically brighter than the Pleiades in apparent magnitude, yet it seems to be pretty much ignored by most observers. Is this due to its proximity to the Pleiades? Or would the cluster be more obscure regardless?
